Appeal for q Writ OF Error Not

appeal for q Writ OF Error Not
Granted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The decision Of the
United States Supreme court upon. the petition
fcr writ of error In the case of the Chicago
anarchists was announced this afternoon By
Ch,f Justice Waite in long prepared opinion,
which occupied IS minutes in the reading.
The reading began at 1905 O'Clock. The
court holds in brief, first, that the first ten
amendments to the constitution are limitations
upon federal and not state action; second, that
the Jury law Of Illinois is upon ito face valid
and constitutional and that it Is similar IN It's
provisions to the statute of Utah, which was
sustained in this court In the case Of Hopt vs..
the Territory Of Utah; third. that it does not
appear In the record, that upon the evidence,
the trial court should have declared the Juror
Sanforn incompetent; fourth, that the objec-
tion to the admission of the Johann Most let
ter and the cross-examination of Spies, which
counsel for the prisoners maintained virtually
compelled them to testify against themselves,
were not objected to In the trial court and that
therefore no foundation was laid for the exer-
else Of this courts Jurisdiction; and fifth, that
the questions raised by Gen. Butler In the
cases of Spies and Fielden on the basis of their
foreign nationality were neither raised nor de-
clded In the state courts and cannot therefore
be decided here. The writ of error prayed
for must consequently be denied.
There was no dissenting opinion.

Another Ray OF Hone.

For some time past the general public and
many Of the most hopeful, have oil given up
any idea that the Dakota l. Great Southern
road would ever be extended to Tower City,
and any assertion tending In that direction
was hooted at as long-haired chestnut.
However, the cloud Of disappointment seems
to have rolled over and exposed to view a sill
YER lining. In conversation with well-posted
railroad man, who is man not given to boom
talk, the Herald was informed that the com
pany will build the Dakota & Great Southern
to Tower City next season-if not farther-and
it will be built as early in the season as posi-
ble
"What makes you think sop' we inquired.
Because, they have got to get there TO pro-
tect their interests. Jim Hill has bis extension
in the north; the Dakota d Minnesota rid
with plenty Of capital, will build from Fargo,
via Hunter and Galesburg, to Sherbrooke; and
II they want any trade In this territory, they
will have to rustic or get left-and you know.
the Milwaukee road never allows It's rivals to
leave them out in the cold. OF course, the
present condition Of affairs don't Call for any
new roads, but it Is the near future they have
in view. In the history of all new countries
there Is the first, or spasmodic boom, followed
by three or more years of reaction, or hard
times; the business and real estate values drop
clear to the bottom, and even the most hope
full almost admit that the country has gone to
the devll.' Cass county has had it's boom and
now her towns and people are hard up. This
is the relapse PERIOD she has had-in COM
mon with her neighbors for the last three
years. You have struck bottom,' and next
season the second or solid era Of development
and progress will begin, and those who have
the sand to hold on, will be winners. These
shrewd railroad capitalists watch the rises and
falls-and always catch matters at the critical
turning point and profit by t he solid advance
In values. Tell your readers to hold on-the
worst has come-and the future 10 tn be
marked with the return Of better times. You
are sure Of your south road next year. IT,
was betting man would gamble my whole
possessions on its coming"
The Herald does not give the above as boom,
but just for it's face value; yet the reasons and
knowledge Of the condition Of affairs show
that our visitor is man thoroughly conversant
with the signs of the times. That bis dag
nosts is correct is something devoutly to be
wished for.-1ooer city Herald

Monday night was Halloween, and num-
Der OF mad pranks were played by the boys
around town. Over the door Of the bank was
placed an old hotel sign, in front Of the Hope
House door was placed an old threshing ma
chine, wagon loaded with straw, a binder
and hay rake. Wood Bros buggy was placed
on top of the Beidler & Robinson lumber shed,
Frank Elwslps dog cart was placed on top Of
Ben Whitney's office, and seeder and sulky
plow were placed on top of pile of lumber.
Paryon Barlow's buggy was found on top Of
Frank Hills hay stack. No malicious mischief
was perpetrated that we have learned of, and
while the pranks played were annoying to
many, no damage to property was committed,
as is too often the case.

The Pioneer Press, relying in the main upon
Its own sources of information, but carefully
checking its results by partial statistics gath
cred by other inquiries, presents this morning
the first complete and comprehensive summing
up Of the wheat harvest Of Minnesota and Da-
kota in the present crop year. The acreage
devoted to wheat in Minnesota Is slowly but
steadily decreasing, and the nearly total fail
urs Of the crop In the southern counties cuts
down the yield to IN bushels per acre. New
ertheless, the total product of the state will
exceed 100000 bushels. Much of this, in
cludiug all Of that grown in the northern coun-
ties, is OF unusually high grade. The Dakota
acreage is slightly greater, and the average
yield higher, raising the total product there to
4,0OO,0O0 bushels; also Of higher grade than
usual, (bariug the dirt which lowers the in
spection Of much Northwestern wheat this
Year,. This makes total Of SO, ,0OO, 900 BUSH
els produced in Minnesota and Dakota, Of
which it is estimated that 9O,0O0,0O0 will be
ground and 4S,00O,OO0 shipped. More than
ever this year is the Northwest the granary Of
